The year isn’t even over, and we are already preparing you for next year. I do hope you are able to relax this summer and do a little less, but how better to relax than with a great book?  \nThe required book is Uprising. It tells the story of three young women in New York City in the early 1900s. Two women are immigrants and face many of the challenges we will study in our first unit. The third woman is the daughter of a rich businessman and also must find her place in a changing society. Specific directions while reading Uprising are on the next sheet and on PSL. It is a wonderful book and includes lots of historical information.  \nYou will read one (1) book from the St. Patrick’s Grade 8 Summer Reading Book List (online) and write a 1-page summary.  \nYou will read one (1) book, two (2) articles, and the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights foryour Capstone Project.  \nThis summer, you can explore two social justice movements, but before you return to school in September, you need to know which social justice movement you want to focus on for your Capstone Project.  \nFor your resources, especially articles, you will have to search on the St. Patrick’s Library webpage and the DC Public Library online databases. If you need help using databases, check out the PSL page for helpful videos. See the attached “Capstone 2020 Summer Work” sheet for more detailed information.  \nFor your fourth and final book, choose any book you like and enjoy! You should be prepared to talk and write about your book in the fall. I know how much you love to read, and it is important to show that you did the required assignments as well.  \nFinally, get in the habit of reading the newspaper this summer. All year we will make connections between 20th Century history and today. You will want to be informed.  \nHave a wonderful summer. I am really looking forward to getting to know you in the fall.  \nSincerely,  \nMs. Elmore  \n[elmorem@stpatsdc.org](elmorem@stpatsdc.org)  \nUprising by Margaret Peterson Haddix  \nLook to the PSL “Summer Work 2019” page for examples and documents!  \n1) As you read Uprising, you must use a specific pen-in-hand (PIH) note-taking strategy.
